• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuits or outlets to be used. Receptacles are
available having built in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
• Use of accessories and attachments. The use of any accessory or attachment not recommended for use with this appliance
could be hazardous. Refer to the accessory section of this manual for further details.
• Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate appliance when you are tired.
• Check for damaged parts. A part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center
before further use unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by
authorized service center. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
• Do not operate this appliance near flammable liquids or in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Motors in these tools
normally spark, and the sparks might ignite fumes.
• Never submerge this unit in water; do not expose it to rain, snow or use when wet.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect the unit from any power source before attempting maintenance or cleaning.
Turning off controls without disconnecting will not reduce this risk.
• This equipment employs parts (switches, relays, etc.) that produce arcs or sparks. Therefore, if used in a garage or
enclosed area, the unit MUST be placed not less than 18 inches above the floor.
• Do not use this unit to operate appliances that need more than 5 amps to operate from the 12 volt DC accessory
outlet.
• Do not insert foreign objects into the USB port, the 12 volt DC accessory outlet or the 120 volt AC outlet.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHARGING THIS UNIT

• IMPORTANT: This unit is delivered in a partially charged state. Fully charge unit with a household extension cord (not supplied)
for a full 14 hours before using for the first time. You cannot overcharge the unit using the AC charging method.
• To recharge this unit, use only the supplied AC charging adapter.
• All ON/OFF switches should be in the OFF position when the unit is charging or not in use. Make sure all switches are in the OFF
position before connection to a power source or load.
• Extension cords:
WARNING: An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in a
risk of fire
and electric shock. If an extension cord is used, make sure that the pins of the extension cord are the same number, size and shape
as those in the charger.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.

• When an extension cord is used, make sure that:
a) the pins of extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those in the charger,
b) the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition,
c) the wire size is large enough for the AC rating of the charger.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE: Pull cord by connector rather than cord when
disconnecting the 120V AC charging adapter from the unit; and by plug when disconnecting the charger from an AC outlet.

WARNING: BURST HAZARD: BURSTING ARTICLES CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.
• Carefully follow instructions on articles to be inflated.
• Never exceed the recommended pressure listed in instructions on articles to be inflated. If no pressure is given, contact article
manufacturer before inflating.
• Monitor the pressure at all times on the LCD screen.
• Never leave the inflator unattended while in use.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:
Do not operate inflator continuously for longer than approximately 10 minutes, depending on ambient temperatures, as it may
overheat.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR JUMP STARTERS

WARNING: BURST HAZARD
Do not use the unit for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may burst and
cause injury to persons and damage property. Use the unit for charging/boosting a lead-acid battery only. It is not intended to
supply power to a low-voltage electrical system other than in a starter-motor application.
• Use of an attachment not supplied, recommended or sold by manufacturer specifically for use with this unit may result in a risk of
electrical shock and injury to persons.
WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
• Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal battery operation. For
this reason, it is of the utmost importance that each time before using the jump-starter you read this manual and follow
instructions exactly.
• To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and
manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Review cautionary markings on these products
and on the engine.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• NEVER ATTEMPT TO JUMP-START OR CHARGE A FROZEN BATTERY.
• Vehicles that have on-board computerized systems may be damaged if vehicle battery is jump-started. Before jump-starting, read
the vehicle' s owner' s manual to confirm that external-starting assistance is suitable.
• When working with lead acid batteries, always make sure immediate assistance is available in case of accident or emergency.
• Always have protective eyewear when using this product: contact with battery acid may cause blindness and/or severe burns. Be
aware of first aid procedures in case of accidental contact with battery acid.
• Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of vehicle battery, engine or power station
• Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
• Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches when working with a lead acid battery. A lead acid
battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring, or similar metal object, to skin, causing a severe burn.
• Do not wear vinyl clothing when jump-starting a vehicle when jump-starting a vehicle. Friction can cause dangerous static-
electrical sparks.
• Jump-start procedures should only be performed in a safe, dry, well-ventilated area.
• Always store battery clamps when not in use. Never touch battery clamps together. This can cause dangerous sparks, power arcing
and/or explosion.
• When using this unit close to the vehicle' s battery and engine, stand the unit on a flat, stable surface, and be sure to keep all
clamps, cords, clothing and body parts away from moving vehicle parts.
• Never allow red and black clamps to touch each other or another common metal conductor — this could cause damage to the
unit and/or create a sparking/explosion hazard.
a) For negative-grounded systems, connect the positive (red) clamp to the positive ungrounded battery post and the negative
(black) clamp to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the clamp to the carburetor, fuel
lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
b) For positive-grounded systems, connect the negative (black) clamp to the negative ungrounded battery post and the positive
(red) clamp to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines
or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
• If the connections to the battery' s positive and negative terminals are incorrect, the reverse polarity icons will show on the LCD
screen. Disconnect clamps and reconnect to battery with correct polarity.
• Always disconnect the negative (black) jumper cable first, followed by the positive (red) jumper cable, except for positive
grounded systems.
• Do not expose battery to fire or intense heat since it may explode. Before disposing of the battery, protect exposed terminals with
heavy-duty electrical tape to prevent shorting (shorting can result in injury or fire).
• Place this unit as far away from the battery as cables permit.
